Mira and the Quiet Canals

1 min 49 sec

Mira woke to the soft hush of morning in a city of water and wheels.
Light slipped through white curtains and placed gentle squares on her quilt, like tiny tickets to a peaceful ride.

Somewhere outside, a bicycle bell chimed once, then rested.
She sat up slowly and listened.

There was the faint sound of water brushing stone.
There was the purr of distant voices and the kind whisper of a breeze.

Today, she decided, would be an easy day of looking and listening.
She tied her hair with a blue ribbon and put on her favorite striped sweater.

In the hallway, the smell of toast drifted past as neatly as a small boat.
Down on the street, a row of bicycles stood like patient deer in the shade of tall trees.

Mira chose the bright orange bicycle with the comfortable seat.
She touched the silver bell and promised herself to ring it only when it felt like a greeting.

The world was not in a hurry.
The world was a postcard waiting for a careful message.

She pushed off and felt the pedals press back, calm and steady.
The path curved beside a canal as quiet as a held breath.

Boats floated by the pretty houses, each house dressed in soft colors, each window wearing flower boxes full of tiny flags of pink and red.
A woman on a boat waved, and Mira waved back.

The boat moved as slowly as a yawn.
She rode beside it for a while, matching its pace, and it felt like two friends walking with the same small steps.

A gull made a lazy arc in the sky, then tucked its wings and watched the water think.
